The Wuthering Waves 2.6 banner is set to debut Augusta and Iuno alongside exciting reruns, according to new leaks.
The Wuthering Waves 2.6 banner has become a hot topic in the community, with leaks hinting at some major additions.
While Kuro Games has officially confirmed Augusta and Iuno through drip marketing, trusted leaker Seele Leaks has shared detailed information on the banner phases and rerun characters. The update is expected to drop on August 28, 2025 (UTC+8), bringing both fresh faces and returning favourites.
Wuthering Waves 2.6 Banner: New 5-Star Resonators Make Their Debut
Version 2.6 will introduce two highly anticipated 5-star Resonators — Augusta and Iuno. Both hail from the Septimont region and have previously appeared in the game’s story quests, leaving a strong impression on players.
- Augusta (Phase 1): A 5-star Electro DPS wielding a Broadblade. She is expected to be a powerhouse main damage dealer, perfect for those seeking an Electro-focused team.
- Iuno (Phase 2): A 5-star Aero Resonator who uses Gauntlets. Leaks suggest she will function as a hybrid sub-DPS and support, capable of healing allies while dishing out strong Aero damage.
The combination of Augusta and Iuno in one update means players will need a good stash of Astrites to grab them both.

Should You Pull for the Reruns in WuWa 2.6 Banner?
While the reruns bring solid options, leaks caution that some of these characters may be overshadowed by other 5-stars in the current meta.
For example, Ciaccona is a niche pick mainly suited for Aero Erosion teams, shining primarily when paired with Cartethyia, one of the game’s strongest DPS units. Players focused on meta strength might want to prioritise the new characters instead.
Overall, with two premium 5-star debuts in Wuthering Waves 2.6 banner, resource management will be key. Players are advised to complete all current events and exploration content to maximise Astrite savings before the patch drops. Those aiming for both Augusta and Iuno will need to plan their pulls carefully.
Between the new Resonators, high-value reruns, and the strategic potential they bring, Wuthering Waves 2.6 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting patches yet. If the leaks hold true, Rovers can look forward to fresh team compositions, new playstyles, and plenty of reasons to dive back into the game when August 28 rolls around.
